    My quick take on a formula. Same idea in general but just a different approach.

    =IF(AND(🚦@row = "No", [📅 OFR]@row = ""), 0, IF([📅 OFR]@row <> "", [📅 OFR]@row, TODAY()) - 📅🏁@row)


    Only slightly less typing, but the biggest change really though that I would suggest is removing the quotes from around the zero if you plan to run any metrics such as an average of days open. Putting the quotes around the zero converts it to a text value which means that 1: It won't be usable as a number in formulas, and 2: It creates a mix of data types (text from "0" and numeric from subtraction of date) within the same column which has been known to cause issues with formulas referencing the column.
